AAUP wants open forum with finalists
By CINDI CURRIE
Staff Reporter
The KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors has asked the chancellor search committee to open its meetings with the finalists for the position.
Evelyn Swartz, AAUP president, said yesterday that because the names of candidates were usually publicized anyway, an open forum would decrease speculation about the candidates.
Jacob Kleinberg, search committee chairman,
said yesterday that he had not received the request.
The request was not valid.
SWART2 SAID THE request was based on a secure university law school last year in its secrecy. We new deam.
Sidney Shapiro, chairman of the law dean search committee and associate professor of law, said the faculty members involved with the research are at first about the benefits of open meetings.
"It was my impression that most of our faculty thought that after it was over it was a worthwhile exercise," he said. "I personally think it is a good idea."
Swartz said the open meetings would give the University a chance to meet the candidates, to know who they were and to find out about their personalities.
Shapiro said he supported the open meetings for several reasons.
The search committee, he said, can learn how
a candidate responds to a group of people asking questions.
He said the search committee could benefit from the involvement of groups at the University because they might raise concerns not recognized by the committee.
"Various interest groups in the University could ask the questions they want answered and give their conclusions about a candidate to the search committee," Shapiro said.
He said an argument used against open meetings was that the candidates desired privacy and that better candidates might apply to their interest in the position was confidential.
HOWEVER, SHAPIRO SAID, in all probability the finalists for the position would be discovered.
"It seems to me a red herring," he said. "I am extremely unlikely that the list be public."
He said that the AAUP proposal was based on the assumption that the finalists would be put up.
"What we urged was that, given the inevitability of publicity, to consider it (the request) on merits other than that," he said.
Shapiro said he did not know how the committee would respond to the report.
Iraq offers cease-fire
The chancellor's search committee will accept nominations and applications for chancellor until Oct. 31. After that, they will choose five candidates to be the board of Rogents, who will make the final selection.
BAGHADD, Iraq (UPI)—Iraq President Saddam Hussein ofered a cease-fire in the week-old Gulf war yesterday in return for Tehran's acceptance of all IRA claims on disputed lands.
Iranian President Abdass汗an Bami-Sad, Iran ever, bridged to carry on fighting "until the end of this century."
The surprising Iraq offer came after Baghdad claimed its troops had pushed 60 miles into Iran in their deepest penetration of the seven-day-old war.
In a nationwide television address, Hussein said Baghdad was ready to consider a cease-fire.
"Obviously our national interests have to be defended in any negotiations," he said. He listed

officially for the first time Iraq's claim to sovereignty over the Shaal al-ajat waterway in the tiny islands in the strategical Strait of Hormuz. The two islands and the islands are claimed by both countries.
HUSEINE ALSO demanded "full democratic rights in Iran"—an apparent call for some form of autonomy for Iran's ethnic minorities, such as the Kurds in the north and the predominantly Arab population in oil-rich Kuzniki, the city which Iqra's invasion force sent its main push.
'if the other side does not want to accept a cause-fire, it is up to them to accept the con-
dition.'
Iraq's claim to Shatt al-Arab is at the heart of

the conflict between the two oil-rich states and surrender of the disputed waterway will almost disappear.
IRAQ SAID IT captured Abvaz, capital of
Kuwa. He fled Iran. Tehran said the
claim was a 'deranged life'.
A GRI correspondent, reporting from 500 yards outside the city, said that the Iraqis were not yet in Khormarshahr, but that virtually all Iraqian forces had left.
Iraqi forces all but captured Khorramshahr, Iran's major nort city on the Shatt al-Arab.
Invading Iraqi field commanders said only "15 or 20 sniper" and civilians still defended the city. Iraqi mortars and artillery moved up to within a mile of the city.
SOME OF THE local population from Iran's Khuzistan province, ethnic Arabs who have been hostile to Iran's government, joined the Iraqi forces in fighting around Khorramshahr and Abadan, where the huge Iranian refinery lay in ruins.
At the United Nations, the Security Council approved unanimously a resolution calling on Iran and Iraq to "refrain from any further use of force" and settle their week-old war peacefully.

Haskell closes day's festivities with dancing

The powwow was the climax of Lawrence's celebration of American Indian Day, which falls every year on the fourth Friday in September.
The "everybody dance" seemed the perfect
melody for the crowd. Hankell

Blue jean-clad Lawrence residents danced side-by-side with dancers wearing colorful, feathered costumes as the group circled a ring of drummers in the middle of the Haskell
This year, Haskell officials worked to involve the entire community in the celebration, which ended with gourd dancing and intertribal dancing.
Although it is not a national holiday American Indian Day was endorsed by 24 state governors, including the governor of Kansas, in 1914.
THE GOURD DANCING was done in the afternoon on the Haskell Powlow Grounds.
The dance originated with the Kiowa tribe in Oklahoma, where the gourd clan policed the tribe, according to Marquis Woodard, a professor at the Program and a member of the Kiowa tribe.
Plains Indians depended on the hunter for survival, and gourd dancing done to honor warriors and hunters in the tribe, as well as to emphasize family ties, he said.
THE KILOWA'S MODERN gourd society is a fraternity of lawyers, lawyers and businessmen. Woods said,
"That just goes to show that you don't know what you're going to do of a person when you educate him." he said.
Many traditional dances, such as the sun dance and the scalp dance, were banned by the U.S. government after American Indians lost much of their native land, Woodard said.
Some of the dances went "underground," where Indians secretly kept the songs and their meanings alive, and have resurfaced only in recent years, he said.
Gourd dancing was revived in the 1850s, and has since been adopted by Indian tribes all over the world.
Spectators at the gourd dance had a chance to sample Indian fry bread, a round patty of dough deep-fried in oil and then covered with honey.
Also for sale were corn soup and Indian
corn bread; cream, cheese, lettuce
and tomatoes on top.

The last time Allen Ginsberg was at the University of Kansas was in 1966, and there was 'a lot of noise.'
The times have changed, but the themes and values of the 1960s, in the mind of poet Allen Ginsberg, are very much alive, and perhaps more valid than ever before.

Heat burns gardeners' crops

Walter Dolifia has trucked his garden vegetables to retail markets and some Lawrence residents for 30 years. This year however, he doesn't have much to sell.
Eighty-five percent of his tomato, corn, and potato crops burned in the summer heat, he
His crops usually bring him between $2,000 and
$3,000, he said. This year, he said, he will be
lucky to get $1,000.
Dolfka, 649 N. Sixth St., does not qualify for a federal loan to recoup his losses. But he and his wife, Evelyn, do not rely on the money from the crops. Both receive 8000 a month railroad pen-
"I feel sorry for the kids who are just starting out and can't really effort to take a loss," he
Dolifka turned his gardening hobby into a fulltime venture in 1975, when he retired as a railroad flagman after 35 years.
Since he started his garden in 1950, he has invested about $10,000 in electrical irrigation and water.
When his five children were home, he said, he planted strawberries in addition to his other crops. For the past two years, he has paid two of his grandchildren to help him out in the garden.
With their help, he irrigated his fields three
times, the water cost more than it
might have worthen.
"I got nothing but a $195 light bill for my efforts." Dolftka said.
This year, he said was going to retire from farming.
"I'm getting too old," said the 70-year-old.
"I'm just going to sit and drink beer."
Dolifika's wife said he had been retiring from truck farming since he planted his first crop.
But Dollaff insisted that this year would be his last—unless spring fever got hold of him again.
